Is it leaking between the head and block? is that what your talking about? If so it may be your headgasket. Any overheating problems?

I will bet money if you change these things your leak will go away:

-Vtec solenoid gasket
-Distributor O-ring
-Exhaust side cam plug
-Valve cover gasket

This combo of gaskets will account for 99.99% of the type of leak you described. In all my years of working on Hondas I've never seen a headgasket leak oil on a car with a properly machined head.
